The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Johann Martin Augustin Scholz. Scholz examined it very slightly. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[4]

Formerly it was labeled by 138^a and 173^p. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 615 to it.[1]

The manuscript currently is housed at the Biblioteca Ambrosiana (E. 102 sup.), at Milan.[2]
